2 Kings 19:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² You have insulted me and spoken against me.
    You have raised your voice against me.
You have a proud look on your face.
    You disobey me, the Holy One of Israel!
²³ You have used your messengers to insult the Lord.
    You have said, “I have many chariots.
With them I have gone to the tops of the mountains.
    I have climbed the highest mountains of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars.
    I have cut down its best pine trees.
I have reached its farthest places.
    I have gone to its best forests.
²⁴ I have dug wells in foreign countries.
    I have drunk water there.
By the soles of my feet,
    I have dried up all the rivers of Egypt.”
